| Popis: | Retrospective clinical experience with our first 46 patients monitored with a fiberoptic intracranial pressure device is described. In 43 of 46 patients, the transducer was introduced into brain parenchyma. A ventriculostomy system was used in 3 of 46 patients. The monitoring system was generally characterized by ease of placement and system maintenance and by technical simplicity. Several problems were encountered, including breakage of system components (12%), erroneous readings requiring transducer repositioning (8.6%), epidural hematoma (3.4%), and infection (1.7%). No infections or hematomas occurred in the 3 cases in which the ventriculostomy system was used. Overall, our experience with the Camino intracranial pressure fiberoptic monitoring system confirms previous reports of its favorable features. |
